Staff Spotlight: Meet Dave Maurer!

Every month we like to feature one staff member at Lewis Audio Video who is dedicated to serving with integrity and excellence. This month we would like to introduce you to Dave Maurer! He started his work with us in 1989 as a salesperson, and worked here for 18 months. Then in 2007, he rejoined the team as our Business and Finance Manager. He is a behind the scenes guy, and gets satisfaction knowing that his team is successful because they have the right tools to do their jobs. Anytime he can help the staff by providing resources or direction, he feels fulfilled. “I really enjoy seeing our staff be able to meet the needs of our customers effectively and efficiently.”

Dave was born in LaPaz Bolivia and spent a lot of time in many towns (mostly in Oregon) as his parents were missionaries and pastors. He finally settled in Newberg in 1985 and with the exception of a couple year stint in Wilsonville, has lived here ever since. “Newberg is my home and I love it here.”

When we asked Dave what he does in his free time, he told us “family comes first.” He’s the parent of two adult children and he enjoys spending time with them. He enjoys bike riding, and completed his first 100-mile bike ride last year. He is hoping to do two or three century rides in 2014. He is also very passionate about Christian music and runs a website (ChristianMusicArchive.com) documenting the people and albums that make up Christian music history. He enjoys GeoCaching, finding treasures hidden around the country using a GPS. He also plays trumpet and is active in the Newberg Community Band as well as participating in worship at Newberg Friends Church and Salem Evangelical Church.
